Wavelength The distance from the beginning of the peak to the end of the valley.
Frequency Number of waves sent of a radio signal, during one second of time.
Name 3 FCC frequency bands X-band, K-band, KA-Band
2 speeds measured by moving radar device: Patrol vehicle relative to stationary terrain &
roadway.
Relative speed when target vehicle is approaching or going away from patrol vehicle.
Stationary signal at motionless target is... The same.
RADAR decision making determined by 3 factors Reflective capability, speed and position.
Five RADAR tests External tuning fork test, light segment test, internal circuit test, patrol
speed verification test, and Subsequent tests for accuracy.
Honeycutt v. Commonwealth: operator must be able to... Setup device properly, test device
properly, read device properly to obtain true speed measurement.
Honeycutt vs. Commonwealth: addressed questions how can you verify speed came from the
target vehicle... Vehicle in question must be that closest to RADAR,
It must be out in front of most vehicles and well separated from them,
And operator should have made a visual estimate of speed and speed should be close to that
estimation.
